About

GJGNY provides New Yorkers with access to energy audits, installation services and low-cost financing. GJGNY will deliver these services in targeted communities with the support of constituency based organizations, like PUSH Buffalo, who will recruit residential, small businesses, non-profits, and multifamily building owners into energy assessment and financing programs.

PUSH Buffalo’s community-based energy efficiency initiative, PUSH Green, implement the GJGNY program in Western New York.
